Regex for specific bbcode

Question

How to catch in PHP in the text with regex such a bbcode which has 2 possible constructions at once

[gcountry allow="XX,YY"] Text Here [/gcountry]
[gcountry deny="AA,BB"] Text Here [/gcountry]

???

I need to find it, and regarding to IP address detect the country and replace the whole text with a Text Here if the country user comes from is an allowed one. The whole problem to find out such bbcode and parsed to have allow and deny values also.

an array or several variables where I can see Allow or Deny values and the Text Here — MR.GEWA

This should work for you

\[gcountry (allow|deny)="([\s\S]*?)"\]([\s\S]*?)(?=\[\/gcountry\])

Capture group 1 contains the attribute name, allow or deny, 2 contains the value of the attribute, and 3 contains the text between the opening and closing tag.

I need allow deny, but the text here too. How I need to modify your example to get the text itself too?

@MR.GEWA My mistake, forgot to capture one group, I've updated it, it now captures the inner text.
